MEET OUR TEAM
I’m Annie, I work in operations and business development, and I am based in Viet Nam.
I specialize in logistics & supply chain management. You will likely have spoken with me to coordinate transportation providers and suppliers to ensure prompt and proper movement of shipments.
Since 2020, I have been the coordinator between production, sales and distribution stages to build a healthy and efficient supply chain at HappyTap.
Hi I am Gaurav. I have spent more than 3 decades establishing markets for products of renowned companies like Reckitt Benckiser, Kelloggs, 3M & Weikfield to name a few. And I spent the last few years establishing and paving a market in India for hand hygiene products.
Since the day I joined HappyTap a few years ago, my focus has been on creating efficient and frugal operations worldwide which also involves setting up manufacturing as per the growth strategy & geographical importance along with Distribution and Supply chain in India as well as globally.
I'm Geoff, I am the founder and Managing Director of HappyTap.
I got into this because I wanted to tackle the problem of persistent low-rates of handwashing despite high levels of awareness and knowledge.
I previously was the founder of WaterSHED, an NGO that pioneered market-building and system-strengthening in rural sanitation. Prior to that I was at the World Bank working on water sector projects in Cambodia, India, and in sub-Saharan Africa.
I am Premchand Shaw, the State Project Coordinator for HappyTap in Odisha, managing stakeholder relations with NGOs, government departments, and CSRs. I provide on-ground support for project deliverables while ensuring smooth departmental operations.
I drive behavior change in hand hygiene by installing and demonstrating Next Generation handwashing stations while supporting organizations in integrating sustainable hand hygiene solutions into their programs.
By collaborating with multiple stakeholders, I ensure effective project implementation and strengthening of hygiene infrastructure across Odisha, India.
I am Vanna Gonzales- Rodriguez, Director for HappyTap Philippines Inc. I am at the forefront of efforts to launch, expand, and grow HappyTap's operations in the country. I have been a business founder and owner of a company for 9 years and counting, and have more than a decade of experience in research, multi-sectoral program implementation, corporate philanthropy, and social sector management. Our goal is to empower Filipinos to take leadership over their health and hygiene and help contribute to better social outcomes in the community through improved health and hygiene access.
I'm Vincent, Program Officer, Philippines. Growing up in a community built by an NGO in the Philippines, I was immersed in social entrepreneurship from an early age. I co-managed a free-range chicken social enterprise, travelled locally and internationally as a resource speaker, and led community development projects, including livelihood programs, feeding programs, and disaster relief efforts.
Now I focus on handovers and backend operations, ensuring that our work goes beyond just providing handwashing stations. We empower Filipinos to take ownership of their health and hygiene, creating lasting behaviour change that leads to stronger, healthier communities.
The ancient practice is so simple that we assume that we’ve got it covered. But as the world changes and we face new threats, the old approach is no longer fit for purpose. The days of teaching kids a handwashing song but keeping sinks behind closed doors should be over.
HappyTap is singularly focused on helping others imagine a new state in which handwashing is easily done in the most convenient place: where you are. In the classroom, in the waiting room, at the entrance, in the restaurant, at the airport, at home - not searching for the bathroom.
